What do I have to do to uninstall Lion?

Too many problems since I've installed Lion. How do I go about uninstalling it and going back to Snow Leopard?

  • What do I have to do to uninstall this pernicious filth called Vuze?

    The uninstall advice from Vuze simply isn't, one can see it's origins run true to course, Vuze freezes the trash, and every Uninstall Application I've tried to remove it with; CleanerApp, CC Cleaner, etc. has failed.  It has brought the normal day to day working to a halt.  Vuze replicates itself like a real virus, or like an mad Octopus.  So who out there is the resident expert on ridding me of this, "thing?"  Beware if you have yet to try, and look closely at what it is doing:  I needed Easy Finder to locate it's tenacles; Spotlight failed.  It degrades processor speed as well. 

    Your proficiency with assumptive conclusions is impressive, and your ability to provide tangential, if somewhat patriarchal advice, clearly outweighs by “buttloads” your focus on the stated objective: Forward an answer for removing Vuze from Mac OS.
    Thirty years and, about 25 Macs later, I still find commercial cleaning products of good pedigree efficient if not necessary in my line of work.  In a perfect world, certainly not this one, uninstallation software would be mandated by the OEM; it isn’t, and therein lies the opportunity for the CCleaners’ of the world.  As my Austrian friend after finding one such product and using it successfully said to me: “Thanks Gods.”
    My system[s] are all business related work platforms; consequently, I have no games, “junk software” although a lot of software is cheap junk, or rather, the people who write, sell, and poorly service it are parsimonious.
    No, thomas_r. unfortunately, there is no NORMAL REMOVAL OF VUZE.  Unless perhaps, you are affiliated with that company, and know something we don't?
    Vuze is dangerous, it is insidious, it takes your home files, all your applications, from all of your disks, and seeds it into the swarm.  Did you ever wonder how people’s personal pictures and movies find themselves on the web?  I know about this now, but not until after I fell for the “professional looking advertising” of Vuze.

  • I have tried to install the upgrade to iTunes on my Windows XP system. It tells me that I have an older version of Bonjour on my system and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not uninstall! Help?

    I have an older version of iTunes on my system. I have tried to install the upgrade and it talls me that I have an older version of Bonjour and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not do it. Help?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?

    I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

    I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
    You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
    The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

  • Hey Dears, I was working with my Macbook pro 2011, then i have some flash light in the screen, so i shutdown the computer, when i try to open it again i had a black screen, so any one of you have any idea about what should i have to do ?

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. Nothing currently on the help site has resolved it.

    I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. I'm told by the Add-Ons window that these extensions will be uninstalled when I restart firefox, but they come back every time I restart. I've tried clearing the extensions cache from my firefox profile and it does not work. Following the steps in all of the active questions regarding this issue among other users have yielded no results. Nothing currently on the help site (which I've combed through for the last three hours) has helped.
    Most of the extensions I'm now trying to uninstall are old ones that stopped functioning/being compatible with one of the more recent updates of firefox. The rest are toolbars I've never used because they're unsightly and clutter up my screen
    * What I wound up doing was installing the newest of the newest versions of firefox (it's at 5.0 or something now, I think). That just made all the plugins, add-ons, and extensions I wanted to get rid of obsolete and it auto-removed them on its own.

  • My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I fond my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

    My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I found my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I get message saying system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation; when trying to uninstall message says you do not have sufficient access to uninstall itunes please contact your administrator.  i am administrator.

    when intalling itunes i get message saying system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation; when trying to uninstall message says you do not have sufficient access to uninstall itunes please contact your administrator.  i am the dministrator.

    Windows right?
    Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
    Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
    http://botnetchecker.com/
    All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
    Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.
    http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system
    Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
    If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
    See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
    If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
    Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
    Hope that works.

  • Itunes failed to open so ininstalled it then installed itunes but it asked me to verify that I had sufficient privileges to start system services what do I have to do? Tried clicking on options "retry" and "ignore" but no use.

    I could not access itunes so i uninstalled it. Apple website suggested that i also delete certain Program files. I tried to delete Bonjour but was told that I was not able to do that. So I tried to install itunes but got the message that Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I was given 3 options to click, Abort, Retry, Ignore. None of these options go ne further. Wondering what to do next. Since I uninstalled itunes I get message after I boot up the PC "MCVCRS is missing - try einstalling the programme" could this be part of my problem?

    You need to follow the instructions of tt2 in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822086 to straighten it out.

  • What does Apple have that compares to Adobe flash player ?

    What does Apple have that compares to Adobe Flash Player, I keep getting Blocked plugged message and it tells me to download Adobe Flash Player and when I do nothing happens.  Also when I purchased my iMac it came with Leopard osx system, last year I installed the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 system and since then cannot read CD's or DVD's from PC or my husbands new iMac with Mountain Lion system.

    There is no equivalent to Adobe's Flash Player. You either have it installed or not. For the reasons outlined below, Apple no longer sell Macs with Flash Player pre-installed, you have to obtain it from Adobe.
    Flash - Apple's official position:
    http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    Flash v. HTML5
    http://www.streaminglearningcenter.com/articles/flash-player-cpu-hog-or-hot-tama le-it-depends-.html
    Apple may have more reasons behind not installing Flash by default other than the stated reason of ensuring that users always have the most up-to-date version. Having Flash installed can cut battery runtime considerably—as much as 33 percent in our testing. With a handful of websites loaded in Safari, Flash-based ads kept the CPU running far more than seemed necessary, and the best time I recorded with Flash installed was just 4 hours. After deleting Flash, however, the MacBook Air ran for 6:02—with the exact same set of websites reloaded in Safari, and with static ads replacing the CPU-sucking Flash versions.
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2010/11/the-future-of-notebooks-ars-reviews -the-11-macbook-air.ars/3
    And this:
    http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/kimkomando/2011-02-18-changes-web_N.htm
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

    You cannot uninstall the update. Apple does not support downgrading. What troubleshooting have you done? Start with a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Are you syncing contacts with iCloud?
